Why Is This Important?

Average age at death is a measure of longevity.

Definition

The arithmetic mean age, in years, at which a group of persons died

Average age at death does not take into account the average age of the corresponding population. This can bias results in demographic groups whose age composition varies greatly from that of the overall population.
